In some cases, it certainly pays to be a little larger when it comes to football

This group of 25 players all weigh over 320 pounds, but the biggest player is not just the one who tops the scales, but the player with the highest body mass index, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

Here are the biggest players in college football as the 2013 season quickly approaches.

No. 5 Brandon Hill, Alabama

Alabama offensive tackle Brandon Hill is the heaviest player on any BCS team. Even though he is the heaviest, he does not top the list, but does crack the top five.

Hill was one of the top recruits in the country in 2012, before spending a year at prep school, and might remind Crimson Tide fans of Andre Smith.

He has a wealth of talent, even with that size. With some notable graduations along the offensive line, it is not out of the question to see Hill get on the field this year. That might not be in a starting role, but he has a chance to contribute.
